Zealand and the Bonds

A guest just finished up a backpacking trip with us completing the classic Zealand-Bonds Traverse — a monster hike made more comfortable by splitting it up over two days. Working on her 48, these peaks — Zealand (4260′), West Bond (4540′), Mt Bond (4698′), and Bondcliff (4265′) — were numbers 41, 42, 43, 44, respectively. Highlights included decent weather, a bear sighting (no pic, sorry), and […]

High in the Middle

This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor ever rising. —John Muir, 1838-1914, Father of the National Parks   High (hi) in the middle is how they describe the State of Ohio, but really we’re high in the middle here in New Hampshire. Literally. Which maybe is why people from […]

A Son, His Mother, and a Bunny

We’ve been asked by people if they can hike with their dog. We’re mostly okay with that. We’ve never been asked about having a bunny rabbit along, until this trip. A pet rabbit that hikes 4000-footers. Who knew?! And that wasn’t the only unusual aspect to this adventure — a hike to Owl’s Head led by Redline Guide Mike Maciel. The trip was funded by another […]

Navigating the Weekend

That post title will probably conjure up images of challenges to time management with chaos thrown in for good measure, but in this case the title is a lot more literal. In this case we had four people — two couples who knew each other — take a weekend-long two-day Wilderness Navigation course with us. During which they were literally navigating in that time. Here’s how […]

Scar Ridge for Number 98

Rising over 700-feet above the Loon Mountain Ski Area is Scar Ridge which at 3774-feet at its highest point is one of New England’s Hundred Highest peaks (map). This mountain, in particular, has a reputation for being tough to access with its dense conifers and steep flanks. And as a guide agency we are often tasked with helping folks make it up there and get back […]

Two Mountains Close to Home

You don’t have to go far — starting from our Basecamp in Intervale — to hike a couple of charming mountains. Namely we’re talking about the 3268′ Kearsarge North and its 2661′ neighbor, Bartlett Mountain. The former is on the 52 With A View list, and the latter should be. Access may be the issue, a lack of prominence might be another. In any care, on […]

Little and Big Mountains

Variety is the spice of life and that’s what we’re all about. Thus, this post is going to be made in lieu of a video on our YouTube channel. We feel the media taken and received — mostly photos — will fit better here. As we up our video game, the source material will need to follow suit. It’s all part of our development. In the […]

Two Brothers for the Win

This was a big deal. A tough mountain, for sure, against two brothers in it to win it, resulting in the deep satisfaction of sore legs only hikers and other outdoorsy freaks of nature can understand and appreciate. These two got it, neither strangers to working hard toward far away goals. The cardio, the sweat, the drive and exhilaration. Both have dug deep in the past, […]

Willard Wedding

If one mountain rises above the rest in terms of having officiated weddings there, the 2850′ Mt Willard in Crawford Notch takes the prize. One of the 52-With-A-View mountains, Mt Willard not only features a reasonable hike in for a lot of folks, the views gained upon reaching the top are stunning, to say the least. Thus, it’s no surprise Redline Guide and JP Mike Cherim […]

Mountain Variety Show

Within a twenty mile radius of our location in Intervale is an incredible amount to do, particularly when it comes outdoor activities and adventure. Not to say there isn’t a lot to do indoors — shopping, learning, entertainment, and other fun attractions — there is, but we’re a guiding company planted smack dab in the mountains so what do you expect us to talk about? Why […]
